Notes:
1) The default Fuel Unit Costs with the "*" are an average price of the fuel
in New Hampshire updated February 5, 2018.
2) The field for "Fuel Unit Cost" can be changed to your local prices.
3) The
"Efficiency of Heating Unit" is for an average location of the
heating unit and allows changing for location. Units that are located in the
living area could be more efficient than the default figures. The loss of heat
delivered to a living area would be from units installed in uninsulated
basement or a furnace located outside of the home.4) After you make a change hit the "Recalculate"
button, to return to the default values hit the "Reset" button.
5) "Fuel Types" that are underlined in blue
are links to listings of New Hampshire fuel sources or information on the
fuel.6) ** Heat Pump efficiency is measured as Coefficient of
Performance (COP). A baseboard electric heater has a COP of 1 or 100%
efficiency. Depending on system design and performance geothermal heat pumps
in the New Hampshire area have an average COP of about 2.50 (250%). Source: An
EESE Board Presentation by Dick Henry
shows an average New Hampshire COP of 2.5 (250%).

Calculate your homes heating index

Here is a
great tool to determine your Home Heating Index (HHI), which is a benchmark of how efficiently heating fuel energy is used in your home.
High HHI values may qualify your home for weatherization services or other
money saving solutions. Works for New Hampshire zip codes only.

How to find what you appliances use for electricity

Here is a great tool for measuring what your appliances are using for
electricity and find out what appliances are actually worth keeping plugged in.
Simply connect these appliances to the
Kill A Watt™, and it will assess how efficient they really are. The large LCD
display will count consumption by the Killowatt-hour, same as your local
utility.
You can calculate your electrical expenses by the day, week, month,
even an entire year. Also may check the quality of your power by monitoring Voltage,
Line Frequency, and Power Factor.
Now you´ll know if it is time for a new refrigerator or if that old air
conditioner is still saving you money.
The unit is available from many Internet retailers including
eBay.
